Hey Wals. Is it worth waiting for a PS5 or should I just grab a PS4? Not a big game guy but would like to dive into RDR2 now that some time is freeing up.

jonattonyeah I was going to say a PS4 Pro would be better than the usual PS4 if you’re not a hardcore gamer and you want to get stuck into RDR2, it’ll perform better on the pro over the regular PS4.
BUT, you could pick up a used Xbox One X at the moment cheap enough and you’ll get almost similar specs but a bit more power than the PS4 Pro, and you have gamepass on Xbox which is great value and can’t be beaten.
And the benefit to the Xbox, if there’s next gen Series X games that come out on Gamepass, the usual Microsoft exclusives you might want to play, you’ll be able to still play them on the last gen console through the cloud streaming they’re offering nowadays.
There’s the comparison…

Use the gamepass / Xbox gold conversion trick and you can get up to 3 years of gamepass for about $150 if you want…

My Japanese friend has sort of forced me to buy Monster Hunter Rise on the Switch. My PGA2k21 gang says it looks hectic and are not joining me.
LT42 I meant Halo - simply avoid the silly noise by using the Battle Rifle or shotgun all the time. Early COD was the same to be fair
Along_the_Wire ahhh - proof positive I have shellshock.
Guardians of the glaxay - Really enjoyed that. The gameplay isn’t going to set the world on fire but the story hit all the right notes (it’s really quite touching in places) and hanging around with the guardians for a bit was exactly what was written on the tin. Good work. 8.5/10

Have decided to give ‘Warframe’ a chance - not my usual type of game but people who play it rave about it so we shall see.
This might interest some of you:
Wally They need to fix the recent trilogy remasters first. You know if they’re gonna keep fixing those or have they washed their hands of them already?
I’m holding off jumping into Vice City hoping they release a few updates and fixes down the line after everyone loosing their shit how they were released a few months ago.
I think the website mentions it’s well underway and been in development a while. 
So…. Finish next year?

Horizon Forbidden West had arrived when I got back from work. It’s still installing (97 GB!), and I’m busy tonight but I do have tomorrow booked as holiday 
I’ve still not played Zero Dawn. I kind of want a PS5 too before I dive into Forbidden West.
Fwiw, the ps4 version of the new Horizon is supposed to be rock solid. The majority of dev was done on it as the developers used PSN Now for testing during covid so it got loads of attention and custom assets. With Guerilla games being a sony first party I’d expect it to sing tbh.
That said, not being a last gen Millsy peasant, I have it on my ps5 so this doesn’t concern me.
Hate the lack of Eldin Ring hype around here. Ya’ll need to man up and play some fucking From games.
Waiting on reviews.
Currently hammering Warframe which is very cool but ridiculously unfriendly to new players.
